The reaction: This news comes about three months after Giffords was shot in the head at a campaign stop by Jared Loughner.

Great news for her and her family. Hopefully, this means that she is well on the road to recovery and can begin resuming something resembling a normal life in the not too distant future. Her recovery has seemed to get much better than even I thought it would after her vicious attack. I hope this is the first of many positive steps forward for her.
